Long-billed Dowitcher (Limnodromus scolopaceus ) Same bird: 136 Langnæbbet Sneppeklire ~ Costurero Pico Largo ~ Större Beckasinsnäppa 2023-09-24 Kalvebod Fælled, Denmark
First calendar year. Midtertårnet. Afternoon. Discovered yesterday by Anders Odd Wulff Nielsen. Present today and most likely gone during the night. This, because it was only reported by Thyge Enevoldsen the following day - among many birders. But he only saw it briefly behind the island in front of the tower. It didn't sound too convincing when he described the observation to me, and the fact that he hasn't added the record to dofbasen support my feeling. I saw the bird in the morning from the north tower and much closer. Here it was easier to see the buffy uniformly neat plumage of a young bird and it was obvious that the tertials were plain colored without the tiger streaks of SBDO. It was also obvious that the bird did not show the rounded back that I have been focusing on as a species character for LBDO. This of course only confirms with certainty that LBDO can show both back profiles - rounded and straight line, and not that SBDO can show a rounded back too. Most dowitchers that show up in Europe are in fact Long-billed. In N America they both migrate the same distance south through the continent why I would have expected an equal amount of SBDO showing up too. If not for the fact that LBDO also breeds in E Siberia and my guess is that the birds that come here follow many of the other arctic waders of the Siberian area and thus are coming from the east rather than the west. A new DK species for me. Rare |

Long-billed Dowitcher (Limnodromus scolopaceus ) Same bird: 136 Langnæbbet Sneppeklire ~ Costurero Pico Largo ~ Större Beckasinsnäppa 2023-10-04 Kalvebod Fælled, Denmark
First calendar year. Midtertårnet. Afternoon. Disappeared and came back a few days. Poorer views today with strong wind, why less details were seen, but I expect it to be the same as 5321. And maybe it is just my Danish Kæphest in English that insists on focusing on the back shape. From this selection of postures I get the feeling that the back is indeed more often curved with the apex near the middle of the back compared to the straighter line with the apex near the neck on Short-billed. Not as obvious as it can bee seen, I admit, but still enough to raise a suspicion of it being a long-billed. Rare |
